Please verify that the cap is ONLY if you have a PAM plan or a network card.

That cap is only applicable to standard vision ans Power vision plans, if you have a data card or Phone as a modem you ARE NOT affected by this. If you are sneaky and use WMWifirouter and run up 8 gig of use in a month with no pam plan, yer phucked.

Actually its the exact opposit. I do not know where you get your information from but even after reading the exact sprint notice, sprint reps tend to be confused. Its because I have PAM/Data Card (used to) that I got out of contract and just on a month to month right now.

Its the PAM and Data Card users that ARE affected. Power Vision / Vision phones, its being debated whether they are affected or not but the official word has been no, just PAM/DC users.

The real tricky question is getting a straight answer on whether the entire usage shown on your usage page counts or just the PAM data which is flagged by your NAI.

If people want to get away without a problem with the 5 gig cap, they can keep using programs like pdanet and see what happens since the phones theirself using pv data for tv/web surfing/picture mail is not affected (so they say).

well they put "in the fine print on your bill" a notice if you are exceeding the limit. Then they shut you off if it continues.

Or at least they said they put the notice. lol

But theres nothing he could do. I called and tried to turn it back on.....NOPE! Nothing at all!

well i felt like i got suckered into it. like a week after i got it the rumor was out. by the time it was confirmed my 30 days was up. i was told "sprint is the last carrier to provide truly unlimited unlimited plans. you can run your home network on it, no need for comcast anymore."
